Senior Quantity Surveyor
Poole, Dorset | £80,000 - £90,000 + £6,000 Car Allowance/Company Car + Excellent Benefits
A leading UK main contractor is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Quantity Surveyor to lead the commercial delivery of a £48m new build accommodation project in Poole, Dorset. Construction is due to commence later this year and will run for approximately two years. As the Lead QS on the project, you'll take full commercial responsibility from pre-construction through to final account, reporting directly to the Commercial Manager and working closely with the wider project team to ensure successful delivery of the programme.
On completion of the project, you'll move onto a £100m+ new build development in the centre of Bournemouth, providing long-term continuity on major schemes within the region.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
